While we're
programmed to retain information that seems relevant and which we can tie to other facts and sensations we're already storing
in our heads, if a piece of data,

It's only after they are around other children who have already
latched onto this notion that kids don't
like vegetables and after they start watching television where cartoons, commercials, and other television shows perpetuate the «kids don't
like vegetables» notion (if you watch kid's
programming, you'd be surprised at the number of times that either kid characters
in shows or television commercials portray vegetables as yucky) that they are exposed to the much - accepted norm that kids don't
like vegetables — and so they decide that vegetables are yucky.
